Brother Matthew Paul Grote, O.P. preaches during Vespers on 1 Timothy 2:1-8 for the Twenty-fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time.  Br. Matthew Paul asks: are we willing to accept the invitation to ascend the 'stair-steps' of prayer? Are we resolved to live our baptism?  

"...that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity."
